I'm excited for the first ***** dishes that we'll have to wash
even though I hate the feeling of wrinkled, wrinkled, wrinkled fingertips
from too much water and dish soap.

I'm excited for the first time we have to throw in some laundry
even though I secretly cannot stand how they feel straight out of the wash,
on their way to the dryer.

I simply cannot wait until we make our messy bed
because maybe that's one part of our messy, messy, messy lives
that we can always revisit and fix together.

I cannot wait to get to spend my earliest dawns and latest dusks
loving, loving, loving you
for everything and through the messes.

I can't wait.
